While some see Samuel sneaking into the backend of the first round, it's more likely he'll be a Day 2 selection.

The Seminoles star is a physical cover corner who has good footwork and balance. He led Florida State with three interceptions and six pass breakups last season before opting out of the remainder of the 2020 campaign.

Samuel does have a tendency to get too grabby which leads to flags, but he has the traits and talent to develop into a solid outside corner at the NFL level. He'd be a solid get for a 49ers team looking to solidify the outside corner spots long term.

Other Round 2 options:
Tyson Campbell, Georgia
Eric Stokes, Georgia
Elijah Molden, Washington

Height: 5-foot-11 1/2

School: UCF

After playing 13 games for Alabama as a freshman, Robinson transferred to UCF where he was a star in the Knights' defensive backfield. Robinson is a versatile corner who can play both man and zone coverage. He has good athletic ability and can be sticky in coverage, but his ordinary ball skills and supbar coverage instincts will need to improve.

Robinson has experience playing on the outside, but likely will settle as a physical slot corner in the NFL.

Other Round 3 options:
Benjamin St-Juste, Minnesota
Kelvin Joseph, Kentucky
Paulson Adebo, Stanford

Athletic, instinctive and aggressive. That's Shakur Brown.

The Spartan put together a great 2020 season, intercepting five passes in seven starts, while also notching four pass breakups and 25 tackles.

Brown has the strength, intelligence and athleticism to play any coverage and has good anticipatory skills. He was very sticky in coverage during his breakout season and has CB2 upside. While the limited sample size is cause for concern, Brown is worth the risk on Day 3.

Other Round 4 options:
Ambry Thomas, Michigan
Tay Gowan, UCF
Shaun Wade, Ohio State

School: Cal

A four-year starter at Cal, Bynum is an instictive defender who has good route-recognition skills. However, questions about his athleticism and speed could have teams questioning if he can stick at outside corner in the NFL.

The 49ers almost certainly will have drafted at least one corner by Round 5, but Bynum isn't a bad player to take a flier on.

Other Round 5 options:
Rodarius Williams, Oklahoma State
Kary Vincent Jr., LSU

Armed with good length, Griffin was a solid cornerback for the Trojans during his time at USC. He especially excelled in man coverage where he allowed only a 42 percent completion rate over his final two seasons, per Pro Football Focus.

Griffin has had injury issues and has below-average speed. If he can stay healthy, Griffin could develop into a solid outside corner.

Other Round 6 options:
Bryce Thompson, Tennessee
Avery Williams, Boise State

What Graham lacks in top-end speed and agility, he makes up for in technique, ball skills and competitiveness. Graham's instincts and tackling might give him a chance to have a productive NFL career.

Other Round 7 options:
Darren Hall, San Diego State
Michael Carter II, Duke
